How can I improve hashing security for my application?

How can I improve hashing security for my application?

To improve hashing security, consider using a strong hashing algorithm like bcrypt or Argon2, and always use a unique salt.

What is the importance of using a salt in hashing?

Using a salt prevents rainbow table attacks by ensuring that even identical inputs produce different hashes.

Are there any best practices for storing hashed passwords?

Yes, store hashed passwords securely, use a strong algorithm, and implement rate limiting to prevent brute force attacks.

How often should I update my hashing algorithms?

It's wise to review and update your hashing algorithms every few years or when new vulnerabilities are discovered.
